    Here's my only Cole proof... wanna trade? :devil:

    Thanks for the offer but, I have that one! 

    Out of curiosity: is that from the L.B. Cole Estate sale? Seems there were two primary sources for cover proofs:

    A cache from the '90s(?) where most proofs aren't signed and then the L.B. Cole Estate Auction from 2010 (OMG! I can't believe that was almost 10 years ago!!!) where most proofs were signed and came with a COA

    So, near as I can tell, there's 2-3(+?) cover proofs for each comic.

    Can anyone shed more light?

  3. Well.... As a very active bidder in the auction, I felt like I was up against some guys with unlimited funds which made it hard for me to win ANYTHING.

    I did get a few though and was the under bidder on quite a few lots before I gave up. I had hoped to pick up a few upgrades on my Star Comics and Star Ranger runs but wasn't able to. :frown:

    I bid VERY strongly in the Berk auction for issues I needed to finish runs as I figured that I'd never see some of those issues for sale/auction again. Lesson learned that things change and eventually, most everything will come up again. But then again, I've seen items come up again in auctions that I lost and ended up paying a LOT more for the second or third time around.

    I remember when the Ruben Blades auction happened and grade didn't seem to matter at all. A low grade early Star Comics would go for as much (or more) than a higher grade issue - just depended on scarcity and whether a couple bidders needed it or not for their runs.

    Anyway....

    Rick - thanks for sharing your thoughts on the auction!

    Cheers!
